Abstract: A dual tamper indicating closure with resealable pour spout (20) for use on plastics bottles and the like. The closure has a first annular indicating ring (15) engageable on a portion of a bottle neck secured to the closure by a plurality of frangible elements (14) thereabout. A second annular tamper indicating ring (30) is engageable on a secondary top cap (25) on the pour spout (20). The top cap (25) has an opening (27) within that selectively registers with a plug (23) positioned above an aperture (22) in the closure from which the pour spout (20) extends.

Abstract: A splice holder assembly of this invention is adapted to fit to a distribution portion of an optical fiber cable splice closure. The splice holder assembly includes a splice tray with a bottom and sides extending from the bottom. The sides and bottom of the splice tray define an open-topped enclosure. In the bottom of the splice tray, splice organizing modules are mounted. The splice organizing modules each have several locations to which a splice can be attached. The splice tray includes retainers extending from inner surfaces of the sides of the splice tray at a level above the bottom. The retainers confine optical fibers in a lower portion of the splice tray. A card is placed and supported in position in the splice tray by the retainers. The card includes a list or array in which the locations of a splice are written in association with the identities of the optical fibers coupled by the splice. The card supports at least one splice cassette including a bottom portion and a cover. To the bottom portion, splice organizing modules are mounted. The splice cassette includes T-shaped engagements which hold respective protective tubes running from the distribution unit. The protective tubes house units of optical fibers. The slack of the optical fibers can be wound in the bottom portion of the splice cassette and the ends of the optical fibers are coupled together with splices inserted and held in the splice organizing modules. The cover includes depressed portions which engage with the inner sides of the bottom portion. Hinged tabs of the bottom portion can be folded into engagement with the cover to hold the cover over the top of the bottom portion. The cover can be provided with a label indicating the locations of splices and the optical fibers coupled at each splice. A strap wrapped around the distribution unit and the splice holder assembly, holds the stacked splice cassettes in the splice tray and also holds the splice tray into engagement with the distribution unit.

Abstract: An encoding unit 2 divides speech signals entering an input terminal 10 in terms of frames as units and encodes the divided signals on the frame basis to output encoding parameters such as line spectral pair (LSP) parameters, pitch, voiced (V)/ unvoiced (UV) or spectral amplitude A m . The modified encoding parameter calculating unit 3 interpolates the encoding parameters for calculating modified encoding parameters associated with desired time points. A decoding unit 6 synthesizes sine waves and the noise based upon the modified encoding parameters and outputs the synthesized speech signals at an output terminal 37. Speed control can be achieved easily at an arbitrary rate over a wide range with high sound quality with the phoneme and the pitch remaining unchanged.

Abstract: A compact video camera has an image pickup lens system providing a zooming function and a wide angle field of view. The zooming function is performed by a zoom lens, while the wide angle view is achieved via a wide angle converter. The wide angle converter, located closer to the object than the zoom lens, comprises a negative lens, a positive lens, and a reflecting member located between the negative and positive lenses. With the use of the reflecting member, an optical axis of the image pickup lens system extending from the object side to the image side of the camera may be folded. The position at which the optical axis is folded is located closer to the object side than the image side.

Abstract: A crank arm for a bicycle includes a crank arm body (1)
having a pedal attachment hole (6) on a first end (4)
thereof and a spindle attachment hole (15) on a second
end (2) thereof. The crank arm body (1) defines an
elongated interior cavity (14) surrounded by a shell
(7), wherein the interior cavity (14) is open to an
exterior of the crank arm body (1). The opening (15)
can be used to access the cavity (14) during and after
manufacturing. The shape of the cavity (14) may be
varied to produce a lightweight yet strong structure.
In the method used to form the crank arm body (1), a
mold core formed by a shell (7) containing a sand-like
filler material (32) is positioned into a casting mold
(20,21) so that a melt space (22) is formed around the
mold core, molten metal is poured into the casting mold
(20,21), and the molten metal is solidified to form a
crank billet (29). The filler material (32) may be
removed through an opening (15) in the crank billet
(29). This may be accomplished by drilling the crank
billet (29) to form the pedal attachment hole (6) in a
location that communicates with the filler material
(32) and then removing filler material (32) through the
pedal attachment hole (6).

Abstract: Cet article absorbant, une couche par exemple, est pourvu de lisières renfermant des compositions de soin de la peau. Cette composition placée dans les lisières peut migrer vers la peau du porteur de la couche par contact normal et/ou du fait des mouvements du porteur et/ou par le fait de la chaleur corporelle. Les compositions de soin de la peau de l'invention sont choisies pour garantir l'hygiène dermatologique du porteur par leur migration lors de l'utilisation de la couche et/ou l'améliorer et ce, en constituant une barrière protégeant la peau ou en procurant un bénéfice d'ordre thérapeutique. Ces compositions ont également pour but de réduire à son minimum l'abrasion causée à la peau lorsque les lisières entrent en contact avec celle-ci, ce qui a pour corollaire de réduire l'irritation cutanée. Elles améliorent, de surcroît, le nettoyage des selles sur la peau ou renforcent les propriétés barrières des lisières.
